Winter Springs teacher accused of inappropriate behavior

No charges filed

A criminal investigation is under way involving a Winter Springs High teacher accused of inappropriate behavior.

Students said Brett Mulock made them feel uncomfortable with his comments and actions. He has been away from the classroom since last October.

The Seminole County school district said it intends to fire him, but at this point he has not been arrested for any of the allegations.

A district report details students' accounts of Mulock commenting on several female students' body parts and in some cases touching the girls.

Students WESH 2 spoke with were not shocked about the allegations. They said Mulock was more of a friend than a teacher.

The most recent incident allegedly happened in October. According to the student, she was sitting in Mulock's chair when he straddled her from behind. She claimed she told him not to touch her. But then he whispered something in her ear and touched her waist. She stabbed him in the eye with her highlighter and she went to tell administrators.

They launched an investigation and found several other students who backed up the accusations.

Others alleged other improper behavior. One student said; "I have seen Mr. Mulock touch girls inappropriately. Such as grabbing girls around the waist, stare at girls chest, touch the girls on their thigh. I would also see him pull girls onto his lap or when I walk into the room there would be a girl already sitting on his lap."

WESH 2 went to Mulock's home for a comment. He didn't open the door but in his interview with district leaders he denied, or didn't recall many of the accusations.

Another student claimed Mulock would call and text students about personal issues. They said he even invited female students to stay at his at his house while his wife and son were out of town, mostly girls.

Mulock does not face any criminal charges in these cases, but the school district confirms Winter Springs police are investigating.
